    :bart whatever PK

    I think these women could (do?) make a very decent living from the ams, but I believe that now is the time from womens pro boxing in the UK to take off a bit. There is no better time than now, double headers with men in world title/upper level bouts would sell BIG. Doesnt look to difficult to pick up a "legit" title in womens pros either.

    Pros look different to ams though in womens boxing I think .Technically I think women may be more suited to the amateurs .Just genetics I think .Heads heavy snapping back can they take a punch ??? It's different when the head guards come off .

    women's boxing has most of the problems the football does.

    the men's game is just a far better spectacle.

    add in the fact the biggest name in women's boxing went and ducked her biggest name challenger and went off and did strictly come dancing. :patsch
     
  4. Please provide footage of that advert

    As for turning pro, I'd advise them against it, the women's pro game does seem scummy and underpaid

    40 grand a year, free training and quipment and a car... really not sure if she could top that in the pros actually! thats a healthy wage for anyone, really.

    What you are basically saying here is that she is already a pro but fighting under amateur rules.....None of the top "amateurs" are amateur in the traditional meaning of the word.

    Just a question, Could Taylor do big amateur fights like the one Khan had against the cuban after the olympics?

    I think they would sell out the 02 in ireland if she did that and co-main event with a male pro fight.

    I don't know how the getting paid would work but surely they could chuck her big money under the table?

    She's already fought on pro undercards.

    She fought on the Cordoba-Dunne undercard.

    Was a great fight too. That American lady was no psuh over.
    I think Jonas should say amateur but after RIO maybe turn pro.
    Not sure about Katie. Adams, could turn pro now though.
